Our client is an established education provider for children that have significant special education needs, predominantly in MLD, SLD and SLD. Often the children can display extreme challenging behaviors as a result of their conditions and all applicants should be aware that often this is a frequent part of the job.
The school enjoys a beautiful setting in acres of woodland and period buildings. There is a high (support) staff:learner ratio; at least 1:1, usually 2:1. Much of the education is outdoors, whatever the weather so applicants should be physically able to undertake outdoor and physical activities.
As an employer, the school has an excellent reputation with many staff staying for many many years at the school. There are also genuine opportunities to progress within the organisation with current members of the SLT having started as LSAs at the school. This is truly a friendly and rewarding place to work, with highly positive outcomes for the students.
Applications are invited from Learning Support Assistants that have experience of working with children that have complex special education needs and are accustomed to managing challenging behaviours. Previous Team Teach training or using other positive behaviour strategies would be an advantage in being considered for this job opportunity. For a successful applicant, free Team Teach training would be offered.
Due to the somewhat remote nature of the school site, it’s beneficial that applicants have their own transport, although this is not an absolute necessity.
The school is recruiting for someone to join the team on a permanent basis and applicants will be required to undergo the schools full 2-stage interview process.
Elementa will be managing all applicants and screening their suitability for the school. Elementa are not a supply agency, we are a schools services & recruiting partner to schools. We will manage the initial candidate vetting & compliance on behalf of the school prior to being shortlisted for the role.
If you have the relevant skills and experience necessary for this role then please apply with your full up to date CV. All applicants will be promptly responded to.
